Using breakdowns on dashboards

Dashboards can have breakdowns added to them. Users can select a breakdown element to
filter data in Performance Analytics widgets that have been added to the dashboard.

For example, the breakdown Category enables users to select a category
from the list. After this selection the entire dashboard shows the data of indicators for that
specific category, provided Follow element is selected for the widget that
is used to render the chart or list in the widget configuration.

About this task

If you selected Follow element for a widget, that widget can
follow the breakdown by showing values for the indicators based on the selected
breakdown instance. To change this setting while editing the dashboard, click the pencil
at the top right of the widget. The Widget Configuration form appears and you can change
the setting.

If you did not select Follow element for a widget,
that widget does not follow a breakdown applied to the dashboard.
